My experience with Shapiro Legal Group PLLC WAS GREAT. I must say the representative that called me was very nice and he made me feel comfortable with the whole process and explained in detail how everything went from here. There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors. At least they could do is compensate/ Settle out of court with us women who did develop a brain tumor due to their negligence

Long overdue review! Mehdi is truly an amazing lawyer who cares. I had a complicated family court case while simultaneously an ongoing criminal case with my abusive ex. I was in postpartum and it was the beginning of separation. I was very hyper vigilant and probably not the easiest to deal with, but Mehdi fully supported me through both cases. He took my life chaos with stride. He always fought hard for me in the court room. He even advocated for me to the ADA in the separate criminal case pushing the case further than it would have without him. I sometimes had to remember he was my lawyer and not my therapist! He gave me so much advice and honestly strength. Sharing a child with an abuser is no fun. We did get everything we asked for in Family Court which was such a relief. It wouldn’t have happened with any other lawyer, only Mehdi. I truly believe that. After Family Court ended he contacted me to check in and show support. He has worked with many women who have experienced DV so he gets it. Hopefully we don’t end up back in Family Court, but if we do He’s our GoTO… If he will have us again. Ha. Ha. We love you Mehdi!

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!
They've had my case for about 5 years, and in that 5 years I've heard from them only 2 or 3 times. I just read a review from Josh Gersten, posted just 3 weeks ago. I have the same problems as he has. This firm stays in contact with you for about a month. After that, you're lucky to get an update on your case once per year(and thats very generous). I've contacted them several times through their website and through email. They just ignore me, and I never get a reply back. They just introduced a new app to track your case about a year ago. I haven't had access to this Hona Client since they introduced it. I've filled out the request to be given access 2 or 3 times in the last year, and they just ignore me. The longer I let them keep my case, the more and more I see that this is one of those firms that goes for the quick payday and take on as many clients as they possibly can with the intentions of making as much money as they can with the least amount of time and effort put into your case. No wonder why they haven't made 5 minutes available to contact me with an update. If you go with this firm, do not expect to win a big settlement. Expect to win your case as quickly as possible even if it means taking a much smaller settlement so that they can pocket the money with minimal effort.
Now my case is a Social Security disability case, so their potential earnings are capped. Since they cant win much from my case, they treat me like I'm a number instead of a person. Expect the same. My guess is that they've dropped me as a client because I'm expecting updates, and those 5 minutes twice a year are more valuable than I am to them. I haven't had an update probably in 12-18 months. They just straight up ignore me, but then again my case isn't very valuable to them since its a Social Security case. Expect the same treatment that me and Josh have gotten.

I came to these people after being neglected by another firm. Promises of contact and the proper attention needed.
Things were fine for a while, they helped me have the procedures I needed.
Contact started to disappear. Lack of responses.
I find out they moved my Lawyer to Disability from Workman's Compensation.
There was zero connection to what I needed and intentions were. My messages were ignored.
I had a hearing over 6 months ago and now they send me a message that they can't get in touch with my doctor and need paperwork filled out. That I should contact my doctor.
It took 6 months of "trying" before you get in touch with someone?
I've been trying to close out my case. My former lawyer understood what I wanted. The person who was handed and did nothing with it, didn't care and was only interested in what was "best for me, and ultimately their firm"
I never got a lawyer for money, I wanted to have surgery to fix my injuries. I have not had any physical therapy for over a year. Over 6 months since I have seen my surgeon. We have closed out all the care, so why am being told not reaching maximum medical is a good thing..?
I am not getting any better, we don't need to play pretend to milk the state for more money.
Close my case... nope.. they will just waste time and do what is ultimately best for them in the end.
Stay away, they are no different then the other guys that just treat you like a peice of meat. Company is too big to give a sh/t.

I can’t even begin to describe what a fantastic group of people The Perecman Firm has to offer. They have managed to find the best of the best and put them all together in this firm. They have become like family to us. They truly care about you. My husband was injured in a construction accident and after being let go by another prominent firm, The Perecman Firm took on our case and gave us peace of mind. Our attorney, Steven Dorfman, is top-notch and absolutely brilliant. Look no further!! Linda Hirschfeld keeps your case organized and flowing with perfection. So many knowledgeable professionals at this firm and you never have to worry. They will work hard for your best outcome. We love you all at Perecman and we thank you for your hard work on our case.

In the fall of 2015, I suffered a crush injury on a construction site in NYC. I was taken on by what is considered one of the top law firms in the North East. 6 months into my case, they dropped me citing the difficulty in winning my case. The Perecman Firm looked over my case and eagerly took it on. From day 1 they coordinated all of my case needs. All of my follow up doctor visits and Independent Medical Examiner appointments were over seen and documented by their group of experts. Ed Guldi walked my case through the red tape of NYS Workers Comp and Silvana Leone navigated me through the incredibly arduous path of obtaining SSDI like she wrote the code! Every T was crossed and every I was dotted!
As for case itself, Steven Dorfman nailed it… not only did he win, his filings and oral arguments resulted in the case receiving summary judgement and I never stepped foot in a courtroom! His work was so convincing and thorough that he left opposing council no alternative than to settle and he over-performed again negotiating a settlement beyond my wildest expectations!
Nobody reads law firm reviews unless they are in need of representation, I can tell you with 100% certainty that you will not regret ending your search and just contact Perecman… they without question saved my life by getting me the compensation I deserved and needed and I couldn’t be happier with what they accomplished on my family’s behalf.

This has to be one of the absolute worst firms in the entire city. My mother was hit by a car and in a case that should have taken months to resolve had taken over two years to settle. The communication from them was non existent, and representation was atrocious. I implore anyone who cares for their family members to look for different services than this firm. Please heed this warning as it will save you time, money and actual representation. They charged my mother 33% for absolutely nothing. No follow up, no guidance absolutely nothing. You’d have better chances representing yourself. Good luck to anyone of you who decide to deal with this horrible law firm.

Yogi Patel is an exceptional employment attorney. He provided me with timely and valuable guidance through a complicated separation from my former employer. He was well-informed and knowledgeable of labor laws, and a great communicator in speech and writing. Don’t let his calm demeanor and affable personality fool you, he is also a tough negotiator. He coached me through an evolving situation, working through various complex scenarios, and continually helped me understand my choices, identifying pros and cons and prospects for success. He fought tirelessly for me which ultimately resulted in a much better outcome for me.

I coudnt recommend this law firm enough. My husband Jessie was involved in accident. They fought insurance company for the best results and delivered. Kept us informed trough the process, very professional , explained and answered every question we had. We put our trust in Michael and the team and felt very confident we were in good hands. Case was built strong for trial so the insurance company had no choice but settle for good amount of $$$. Huge THANK YOU to the whole TEAM, you just changed our life. Couldnt do it without you.
Will always recommend this firm to everyone we know. If you reading this review and was involved in accident dont hesitate call THE BULL!! If you mess with the bull you get the horns! Cheers !!!

He spent a lot of time with me, helping me work through my case, even though I couldn't express myself clearly. It was a great experience working with him and his team from start to finish. They truly had a solid game plan, and the prices were more than reasonable compared to others.

The United States of America (USA) is known among my Countrymen as the "land of milk and honey."
However, obtaining the so-called "status & case " is difficult and time-consuming. Many looked for a chance to process the necessary paperwork. Due to the careful examination and assessment of the provided documents, several failed while others succeeded.
After going through the technical process for a few years, I am among those who succeeded. My sincere appreciation to Atty. Moumita who helped me along the way.
When it comes to helping people who want to obtain legal status in the United States, Attorney Moumita Rahman is fully aware of the legislation.

I first met Attorney Contrastano in 1978 after an injury sustained on the job while employed by a major US Airline. As it happened and little did I know at the time, I had found the best attorney on the planet for New York Worker's Compensation cases. I was injured a few times on the job through all my years there and Attorney Contrastano kept me informed at every twist and turn in the road of each injury. I have sat in with him on many a hearing and when he knows he is in the right on any issue, will fight for justice and what is right and proper for any situation that arises. I could not have had a more worthy and knowledgeable person handling the maze that is WC Law through these many years. I never had to second guess him or wonder if all had been done that could be for he never left a stone unturned on any case he worked on with me. I am a difficult person to please when it comes to what is fair and right and Attorney Contrastano never disappointed me in any way. I cannot say enough about his tremendous capacities of juggling scores of cases at one time, his infallible memory and his habit of going above and beyond the call of duty at every turn in the road. Besides all that he is a gentleman's gentleman and a tremendous human being. I could not have asked for more.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
